ECO
Certified™ is a distinguished award earned by businesses
and individuals that abandon all use of toxic synthetic
dangerous poisonous pesticides. Remember that there is
no safe way to apply unsafe toxic pesticides in the environment,
inside your home, or at your facility.

Our program helps protect children, pets, fish, bees,
water, wildlife, air, and plant life from the barrage
of poisons that rain down on our communities and children
at the hands of unaware and unconcerned pest control outfits.
By taking toxic pesticides out of circulation, we help
give our children and the environment a fighting chance
at a brighter, cleaner, safer future. We send a strong
message to toxin makers... "We are taking back our
environment one person or company at a time."

A business need not hire AlwaysEco™ to provide safe pest
control services to earn the ECO Certified™ designation.
You earn ECO Certified™ status when you agree to;

1. Abandon all use of toxic pesticides
and toxic cleaning products,
2. Agree to our code of ethics,
3. Sign our statement of compliance
and have it notarized,
4. Undergo an onsite visit, inspection,
and short training program,
5. Pay the 2-year certification fee
of $495.00

If you are a current AlwaysEco™ customer, no additional
fee is required to earn certification. When AlwaysEco™
provides the IPM, decontamination, and safe pest control
services, we know that the home or facility is free from
toxic pesticides inasmuch as possible, and thus no additional
fees are required to earn the ECO Certified™ designation.
However all documentation is required and you must submit
to items 1 through 4.

If a business or individual is not an AlwaysEco™ customer,
then a fee of $495 is required. Non-Profit organizations,
schools, universities, and other non-profit public or
private entities receive a 25% discount on certification.

False Environmental Programs
There are dozens of so-called "green" or "eco"
credentials and programs on the market. None of them is
safe or environmentally friendly as their terms imply.
Pest control companies flock to these credentials to soften
public opinion of their toxic business operations. These
program operators and certifying services claim that using
less of a toxic poison is somehow a "green" program or
is "eco-friendly" or even safe. Nothing could be farther
from true. These credentialing outfits and their bizarre
whimsical analogies suggest that consumers should not
be alarmed that poison is applied when none is needed.
Less poison simply means that organisms die slower and
fewer die at one time. That could hardly be construed
as "environmentally friendly" by any standard. In 1962
Rachel Carson proved that regardless of the amount of
poisonous pesticides applied, every organism on earth
felt its damaging effects. Even the United States Patent
and Trademark Office disagree with these false and misleading
"eco" or "green" businesses. According to a recent conversation
(March 2011) with an attorney at the USPTO, their definition
of "green" or "eco" means primarily safe in the environment.
Even the USPTO expressed some confusion over the blatant
misuse of the terms "eco" and "green." There is nothing
safe about a toxic synthetic pesticide nor are these toxins
environmentally friendly in smaller quantities. Such nonsense
continues to perpetuate dangerous myths that intentionally
put children, the elderly, pets, and the public in harms
way and the credentialing services that promote these
insane concepts are as liable to the public as the makers
of the toxic pesticides themselves and the holders of
the credentials. Every drop is poison and all surfaces
to which these poisons have been applied, regardless of
the amount of poison applied, are contaminated and a danger
and threat to people, pets, and the environment.

Pest Control Industry Certifications Are Misleading
Many so-called eco-friendly certification programs in
the pest control industry mislead consumers by diverting
attention away from toxic pesticides to other unrelated
issues such as running background checks on potential
employees or monitoring CO2 emissions from pest control
vehicles, or ensuring that technicians wear clean socks.
These issues do not address the core danger - toxic synthetic
pesticides. Such certification programs spend too much
time certifying the least important, universally unrelated,
and even ridiculous matters while trying not to offend
the enemies of the environment - toxic pesticide manufacturers.
If a company makes, sells, or sprays toxic poisonous pesticides,
then they are enemies of the environment. We let the medical,
university, and cancer related death facts speak for themselves.

ECO Certified™ through AlwaysECO™ is the New Standard
Your certification makes a direct statement that clearly
emphasizes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as the first
line of defense against nuisance insect and rodent pests
and public disease vectors, then safe non-toxic pest control
for remediation action. "There has never been a recorded
need in history that required toxic synthetic pesticides
over safe botanical non-toxic pesticides for insect control."

Your certification informs all others that you are a safe
homeowner or business entity that is 100% "Non-Toxic All
The Time - No Compromise". When visitors, appraisers,
customers, or accreditation authorities visit our website
to find out more about your ECO Certified™ credential,
they quickly realize that you have earned status as a
safe business from the safest and most outspoken business
in America today. AlwaysEco™ is America's most unrelenting
Environmental Steward. Even the EPA recognized our relentless
passion in a personal telephone call from Chief Brennan
- the head of the PESP program. Our vast pest control
and horticultural licensure alone tells the story quite
succinctly. Accrediting authorities realize that your
certification is easily distinguishable from the fake
or incredibly lacking and misleading stewardship programs
offered by pest control associations, and unfortunately,
the EPA. No other certification compares to ECO Certified™
and no other certification tells the world that you are
"Safe Around Children, Pets, & Environment" 365
days a year.
